Focus on the Positive

Today I had the opportunity to attend Heartland AEA's Instructional Coaching Network. One of the facilitators had us share our "Sparkle" or positive moments that have happened in our coaching role this year. She stressed the importance of identifying three positive things that happen each day. I've decided to take her suggestion to heart and spend a few minutes at the each school day reflecting on the day's "Sparkle" moments. Doing this will allow me to end the day on a good note, while keeping from becoming bogged down by challenges that come with being a first year Instructional Coach. 


Three positive events of the day: 
  1. Collaborating with fellow elementary Instructional Coaches
  2. Setting personal Instructional Coaching goals for December
  3. Gaining a deeper understanding of state literacy initatives


What were your "Sparkle" moments?
